Misrata Rebels Still Burning, Looting Villages

The attacks on Moammar Gadhafi’s hometown of Sirte haven’t gone particularly well, but the nearby village of Abu Hadi was captured pretty quickly. So while Misrata’s rebels are still waiting to conquer Sirte, they’re taking out their frustrations on Abu Hadi instead.

“The Misrata brigades are taking their revenge for what soldiers originally from this village did to them,” noted one of eastern rebels, while one of the few remain Abu Hadi residents, an elderly man, told reporters that the Misrata forces “came to patrol the house and stole mine and my neighbor’s cars.”

One thought on “Misrata Rebels Still Burning, Looting Villages”

No wonder – when many rebels are criminals taken from prisons the Al Qaeda fighters did storm. They can be regarded as highly interested to take down law and government, and also have a motivation, to use the civil war as cover for looting them-self rich. In addition to the other group of the Al Qaeda fighters who returned from Iraq and Afghanistan, are professional soldiers who know nothing than killing, and obviously like beheading and finally the third group of Islamist from eastern Libya with a clear black racist attitude. That is really a bad mixture.

This is a mixture creating fear for Libyan people, who want not to fight and being robbed, raped, killed.
